I am not at all sure the point you're making...other than my point. Don't know why you're frustrated about where this idea came from. IMO, a smaller car should be lighter than its bigger sister car...that's where that idea came from; it is smaller. And, I find it a shame it isn't any lighter. The fact that you accept it is okay, but I find it disappointing...that's all.
Lol, I'm not sure why you dug up my original response to you from 2 months ago and responded now but I was responding to your incredulous comment that:

with the data that the M2 has always been roughly the same weight as the m4. It's been a common refrain I've seen from people complaining that the new m2 is the same weight as the new m4 which I find hypocritical considering the smaller m2 has never been a lighter car in comparison. When making a "baby m4" they are also making it cheaper which is often has the opposite effect of making a car heavier, due to using cheaper materials.

TBH it's a little annoying that I responded to your original comments with a detailed comparison and cited my sourced and you just responded after 2 months with a non-sensical "For the new G Generation M2 and M4" comment which didn't make any sense as a response to my comment
